Welcome back to The Road Show with Tony Justice and Friends! In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and brother in trucking, John Highley, a man whose 30+ years behind the wheel tell the story of grit, family, and old-school trucking pride. From his early days riding in his dad’s Greyhound to running a custom Kenworth W900 and hauling for some of rock and roll’s biggest names, John’s life is proof that the trucking way runs deep.

We talk about the lessons learned from tough roads, the importance of maintenance, integrity, and communication, and why staying true to your values matters more than ever in today’s industry. Whether you’re an old hand, a new driver, or just love a good road story, you’ll want to ride along for this one.

Topics Discussed in the Episode

• How John’s trucking journey began in childhood, riding along with his father’s Greyhound runs

• The hard lessons learned from running old rigs and fixing them himself

• The difference between being an owner-operator and just owning a truck

Huge thanks to John for joining me on the show and sharing his heart for this industry. His story is a reminder that the old ways of taking pride in your work, respect for the road, and helping your fellow driver never go out of style.
